Desiree Burch: Witches, Ghosts, Fetish & Fat Girls

Desiree Burch is an American comedian who has called London home for over a decade. Having studied in Yale, she worked in New York whilst trying to get her comedy career going, she worked as a phone sex operator and even a dominatrix - whilst still a virgin.

After moving to the UK, Desiree worked herself silly and got her comedy career going - particularly after winning the Funny Women award in 2015. Since then, she has appeared on QI, Have I Got News For You, Richard Osman’s House of Games, Live at the Apollo and Would I Lie to You? She has tried her hand at acting with a turn in supernatural fiction podcast Welcome to Night Vale and even a role in Netflix Christmas film alongside Brooke Shields and Cary Elwes.

Desiree’s choices are magical and fantastical, gripping and energising - each with their own sense of community and purpose. She loves witches and women and the magic of life. All of the stories are, at their core, a journey of self-discovery with the ultimate destination of people finding their voices and telling their own stories on their own terms.

And Desiree has the second leg of her tour, The Golden Wrath, kicking off at the start of February - so get your tickets here before they’re gone!
